8 Times EXO Slayed As Actors

EXO is a group of many talents. They slay the charts with their comebacks thanks to their killer vocals, flawless dance moves, and incredible concepts; they charm audiences with their appearances on variety shows; and recently, they’ve wowed us with their acting skills in many different projects!

Speaking of Chanyeol, he’s already had his first film gig! He played the supporting role of Min Sung in the 2015 film “Salut d’Amour.” (Moon Ga Young from “EXO Next Door” was also in the movie!)

Chanyeol was even nominated for the Most Popular Actor Award at the 51st Baeksang Arts Awards for this role. Plus, his recent film “So I Married An Anti-Fan” has been a box office hit. He’s well on his way to becoming an established actor-idol!

This list would be woefully incomplete without a firm nod to D.O., arguably the breakout actor in EXO, who has built up quite an impressive acting resumé. His prowess as an actor in a variety of roles has wowed audiences and critics alike.

With their powerhouse vocals and ever-beagley personalities, it’s no wonder that both Chen and Baekhyun have had a turn in the spotlight onstage for musical productions. Baekhyun played the lead role of Don Lockwood in a 2014 production of “Singin’ in the Rain,” and Chen starred as Benny in a 2015 production of “In the Heights.”
